Road to Emmaus

So I am in Washington.....and it's been really good and yet really hard. I am finding it hard to rest in the way that I think I should be resting. I just have no idea how to rest or what resting looks like yet. Haa haa! I know you all are thinking "what? resting is easy". So I feel ridiculous but I'm also being really serious. When you are constantly moving and doing doing doing it's hard to stop and be in shock of not having anything to do. So I've been visiting people and also avoiding being around people. I probably sound like a crazy woman right now...a little bit feel like one too. But there's hope for me guys!

A couple weeks ago I went to Montana and met these great ladies-













They helped me work through some stuff, changes going on and being back here and being in a place of transition and of an unknown future. During that time (which was a week long) I had some really encouraging things that were prayed and spoken over me one of them being "Behold I am doing a new thing"..... I'm really grateful for that. As much as I loved Thailand and being there doing what I was doing and sharing life with who I was sharing life with I was ready for this change and in need of something to change. I became super burnt out. This was to help work through stuff and it was helpful. I'm not done yet but it's a good start and I'm excited to see what God does and hear what He tells me.... He did tell me that He is going to give me the desires of my heart so I'm waiting and I think I'm in the midst of it right now with getting in some family and friend and rest time..... so we're on the right track....

Here's my family.....this was around Christmas time... we went to a cabin and it was fantastic and filled with winterblissfulness and endless food and great family fun......

Since being back I've gotten to spend some good time with some good friends as well.... here's some new babies I've gotten to meet, spend time with and sweet friends I've gotten to see.... I am blessed for sure.....

As much as I miss this:

I know that I'm right where I need to be and being right where I need to be is the best place to be for this season.... however..... I have some big news.....

I get to see this girl....

in March and it's going to be great to show her my little world here....

Welp that's me for now....I'm "resting" and seeking God for what's next for little ol' me and in the mean time I'm trying to catch up with all of you and take it all in..... I love you all and hope this makes you smile a little bit as I let you into my life and my heart a little bit more.... thanks for reading and have a lovely rest of Feb.....
